Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn
My first 'grown up' book and it took me 4 or 5 readings to get even half the allusions, demanding but truly insightful.
On one hand it is a description of cancer treatment in a horrible squalid hospital combined with the main protagonist allowing himself to care once more, on the other hand a description of the incurable damage done to Russia by Stalin.
Its not a happy book, its not an uplifting book, it is a book I never regret reading and go to time after time
